I personally think that it was an ok poem but with nothing very profound or attention grabbing about it, it's bland like oatmeal but with excellent rhyme and meter!

Comment from Kentucky Sweet Pea
Oh, I'm so sorry for your tragic loss. REst assured that you will be together again and that she is saving your spot and keeping it warm for you.
Your free verse poem feels like a rhymer, your cadence is brilliant and your aura shines throughout your well imaged devotion to your daughter.
Grace and peace,
Penny

Comment from Nancylou
I identified with this so much...my son was on life support for 10 days and died 2 days later. Just 19 months ago! We buried my younger son 14 years ago, so I have no children left on this earth. Until you're there, no one can really know the heartache, but you have analyzed with words, a jouney beyond understanding or sense. Thank you for sharing such an intimate loss with emotions beyond belief! And blessings to you for your loss.

Comment from hwbw
Words can do wonders. But, there are times when words mean so very little. All one can do is sit still and listen to the heart. It has the power to heal in the world of memory. That place you will never lose. God Bless both of you.
All My Love,
Bill

Comment from jeslaf
This is beautifully written about your final days with your daughter. What's great about this piece is its transcendent nature. I especially like the allusion to the umbilical cord in the last lines. Well done, mom. Your love will go with her. : )

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello Lov'n Peace,
This is a pain that no mother or parent should have to endure. This is not the natural pattern of things.
Just remember wherever she goes, she'll be waiting for
you as expressed in Barry Manilow's song:
I am your child:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm8fvuY9718
This song is a tear-jerker but I do hope that someday
you will find comfort in it.
Take care. Keep the Faith.
Regards, LateBloomer
